Abstract: Improvements of global sentiment and unconventional policy easing in developed economies have benefitted Indonesian economy considerably; there is now less pressure on Bank Indonesia to reduce excess Rupiah volatility as capital outflow from Rupiah-denominated securities has slowed, and persistently low commodity prices have held down inflationary pressure. These two factors have allowed Bank Indonesia to start reducing target interest rates at current pace. Simultaneously, the effects of structural reforms by Jokowi administration, particularly in area of deregulation and infrastructure investments, may also help boost confidence of investors. This combination of favorable external conditions and government efforts are behind the recent increase in growth of gross fixed capital formation, a promising sign for the outlook of 2016 as a whole.
